Government Loses Hard Drives It Was Supposed to Put ICE Detention Center Footage On A Kafkaesque saga in which the government has failed to produce critical video footage has reached new levels of absurdity.

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them.

Here's a hidden secret of doorbell cameras, as revealed by Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping. They're recording even when you don't know it, and sending video to company servers even when you don't pay

My parents lost my birth certificate when I was a child. By gosh, it took me a trip to vital records and $20 to have it replaced. Wasn’t too difficult. I’ve heard this is a problem women face and can’t solve too.

I genuinely don’t understand how so many people refuse to acknowledge or accept how requiring paying literally any amount of money to the government in order to vote is one of an incredibly small group of things EXPLICITLY detailed in the Constitution as not being legal

An excellent, clarifying piece

I'm so tired of every Trump official's every public appearance being a performative crashout meant to impress the big man who spends his every day glued to Fox News

debasing both themselves and the rest of us to put on a show for the world's most powerful television addict

British Woman shot by dad in Texas after 'arguing about Donald Trump' Lucy Harrison, 23, was alone in a bedroom at her father's home in Texas when she was shot dead.

A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

This is why it puzzles me when news programs bring on specific Cabinet secretaries (Treasury, Commerce, etc) because they’re all interchangeable propagandists performing for an audience of one. Just book whoever! None of them know anything!

UnitedHealth uses AI model with 90% error rate to deny care, lawsuit alleges For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

like the problem isn't SKYNET, the problem is letting amoral extraction class assholes apply half-cooked automation onto deeply broken sectors in exploitative ways in a country that's too corrupt to have functioning regulators

huh.

Brawndo’s got what plants crave.

FDA declines to review Moderna's mRNA flu shot Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Food and Drug Administration has taken an aggressive stance against mRNA technology.

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

A book I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is Edward Abbey’s The Monkey Wrench Game. Bluesky book club?

loooooooolllll

i can’t remember where i read it now, but there was a good essay recently about how the beating heart of fascism is nihilistic death drive; transgress everything, destroy everything, then die and leave nothing of value

this was a deliberate policy choice by a party that wants to reserve higher education to their own sons

Love this!

…but did you leave with all your nannies?

Oh it’s BAD bad

My dad sometimes remarks that some men simply "don't believe women are people" and I think about it a lot

This is such a ridiculous argument. One law (appropriations) not yet passing doesn’t invalidate other, pre-existing and unrelated, Federal laws. If it did, every agency could go hog wild during every government shutdown.

This is on Musk and he should be held accountable.

ever since we invented farming the main driving motivation for basically every human who's ever lived is "how can i do as little farming as possible"

“I thought they held back in the twizzle section during the team event” is the kind of sentence that I watch the Olympics for

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.
